The following information is confirmed and not rumor: (Don't ask me how, but I guarantee you that it is correct as of right now.)
First off, EVERY phone currently offered in the USCC line up will be FREE after mail in rebate (if applicable). Any data requirements for the rebate will also be required for the promotion. I.E. Easy Edge on a Ryhthm, Premium Mobile on a Bliss, etc.
A 2 year agreement IS required and you must be eligble to renew if your not setting up new service. The standard rule for renewal eligibility is 18/24 months completed of your contract or 12/24 months completed if currently using a feature phone and have not had anything but a feature phone active on your line for 12 months and you are upgrading to a premium data or smartphone/PDA.
The 30-day "price guarantee" does apply to this promotion, however the price match will be completed in the form of a bill credit, not an in-store refund (at least for agent locations, I don't know yet if COR rules are different on this).
Lastly, yes it is a 4 day sale kicking off on Black Friday and finishing on the following Monday. But I wouldn't expect to get a Tour on Monday as it will more than likely be out of stock at most/all locations and there is no word yet if the "while supplies last" tag will be attached to this promotion, although my gut tells me it will be.
Any other questions? I will try to answer them for you as best I can, but keep in mind that this promotion is pretty cut and dry and any off the wall questions can probably be answered with NO.
All correct except for one thing, only 6 phones will be free after rebate, 2 standard phones, two premium phones, and 2 smart phones. I have the ad and the list for the sale.
Soooo, is the Pro 2 listed or not? What are the 2 smartphones? Its not like good ole USCC has that many smartphones to choose from. You act like its a big secret or something...... LOL

Me thinks it would be very nice of you to take a picture or scan that ad...

The Pro2 will not be out in time for the sale, and no, I will not digress specific phones, I will wait for someone that wont get in trouble to do that. Same goes for the scan of the ad, not from me thank you, I want to keep my US Cellular income.
Me thinks cjordan has a great Idea... Hey you can just whisper the info to us, instead of writing it.... no one will ever know it was you-- we PROMISE .

Reason: additional statement
I'm not saying this is real, but I found it on the slickdeals website so I thought I would share it.

Good evening team!
As we head into our exciting Holiday selling season that begins this weekend with our Calling All Communities program, we want to make everyone aware that our direct mail piece surrounding our Thanksgiving/Black Friday 4 Day Sale has reached the market earlier than planned. We apologize that customers became aware of this offer before our frontline associates. Due to the unique, compelling offer we've designed for this sale, we anticipate that customers will bring in the piece to our stores or call into Customer Service.
So, here are the details of the offer and how we'd like to interact with our customers:
Offer: All Phones Free after required mail in rebate.
Offer Valid Dates: November 27 - November 30.
We should only discuss this offer with customers that have received the piece or in a reactive manner if a customer asks a question.
We will not honor this offer prior to the 4 Day Sale period as the direct mail piece clearly indicates the timing of the offer.
Should a customer buying today inquire about our holiday offers, we should handle that as we do today by sharing our 30 Day Excellence Guarantee.
The BUZZ article with the exact piece and offer details will be posted soon.
We are very excited about how the combination of our holiday offers - Calling All Communities, 4 Day Sale, new device launches - along with the introduction of our latest proof point, Overage Protection, will deliver the business results we expect!
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Your Customer Experience Marketing Team
Believe in Something BetterSM
No, requires a 2 year contract of course and if it's a blackberry a data plan is required as well. but all phones will be free AMIR.

If the Pro 2 doesn't come in in time for the BF sale on November 27th, I'm gonna try real hard and convince good ole USCC to allow a great customer like myself to PRE-PAY for a Pro 2 phone during the sale, even if its to be released a few weeks later. Sure wouldn't hurt to try.... all they can do is say "NO! Are you CRAZY! Someone Call 911."
I could just see the Touch Pro coming out December 1st...
I believe it would be in USCC's best interest to bring the Pro 2 out next week, but Dec would just be bad because think of all these people who might want the phone but yet have spent their money on Christmas presents an can't buy one. I know I might end up in that boat I've had $$$$ sittin in my bank collecting dust waiting on this phone to come out!!
I'm sorry if it's been asked already, but if you get a phone (without being able to renew) on the black Friday sale, will you still only have to pay the $50 or $70 MIR?
